I have a website and want to integrate it with hubdpot. Recently, I try to integrate hubspot with my site but after integration I notice that the speed of my website become slow. The website is taking a lot of time to load due to which the user experience is deteriorating.
Website: Handy-Reparture
Currently, I have stopped the integration so that further work can be done by solving this problem first. Can someone tell me why is it happening and what is it right solution?
Hello, @KDecon thank you for posting in our Community! I would like to add our top experts to this conversation @Jnix284@Sjardo@Anonymous any recommendations for @KDecon matter?
HubSpot site-speed is my niche! I’m happy to help you.
First off, The HubSpot CMS is not the quickest, but absolutly not slow. With the right configuration, you can get a really decent speed and can easely meet the Core Web Vitals.
Often it’s one of the following issues:
Images (in weight and loading)
A badly coded theme.
Bad DNS configuration / Redirect issues.
Can you provide a URL of the website so I can have a look? Handy-Reparture gives me 11 million hits on Google

Best,
Please have it look. This is URL. I’m very frustrated from last couple of days. I need answer as soon as possible because user experience is effected.
I ran a webpagetest for mobile (improving mobile also improves the desktop version in 95% of the time) and i dont see any major issues with the site. Especially nothing with HubSpot, as it’s LCP is done in 2.2 seconds.
Tho, There are some improvements:
Try to Prefetch your LCP above the fold (on mobile, it’s the logo)
Do not fade in your cookies, as the time to compleet takes the whole animation.
Preload Fonts (well done on serving them localy)
add font-display: swap
Defer your JS
If possible, load critical css inline. (Any css needed to style everything above the fold)
Try to use a CDN as it’s running on Joomla and not on Hubspot.
Thats about it. You really have a quick websites, my default tools cant really spot major issues.
Hi @MRAYPUR,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community! And thanks so much @Sjardo and @Jnix284 for your help!!!
So that we help you the best we can, I’d like to ask some clarifying questions, please.
1. What makes you think that your website is slow? How did you notice this? Do you use a specific tool for this? If yes, which one and what was the result? Can you share a screenshot?
2. Is it a HubSpot hosted website? Or an external website?
3. Did you add custom code? Or native HubSpot modules?
4. Do you have lots of videos, images, animation on your site?
5. Is the slow performance on PC or on mobile? Or both?
6. When was the website launched? Since when are you seeing this behavior?
The more info, screenshots (without sensitive/confidential information), and details you can provide, the better the Community can assist.
I’d like to share this article “Optimize your page load time” that might help you.
I also wanted to invite a couple of subject matter experts to this conversation: Hi @Sjardo and @Jnix284 do you have other suggestions that could help @MRAYPUR, please.
Also, if anybody else has anything to add and/or share, please feel free to join in the conversation
Thanks a lot and have a lovely day!
Best,

This usually happens when a few integrations start firing requests at the same time, especially if some of the scripts are render-blocking.
The First thing I’d do is run it through GTmetrix. that’ll show you pretty clearly what’s actually slowing things down. From there, I’d defer anything non-critical so it loads after the main content.
Also make sure external scripts are loading async instead of sync , that alone can make a noticeable difference.
Worth also checking caching/minification settings because sometimes new integrations can conflict with existing optimization plugins or server caching.
In some cases it’s also just a mix of other things like heavy images, animations, or background apps already running on the site, and the new integration just makes it more obvious.
I usually start with scripts first since that’s where most of these issues come from after adding new tools.
